Stephen Curry's wife, Ayesha, has been forced to shut down her store Sweet July in order to 'protect staff' after other companies have similarly fled the crime-riddled Oakland area.
In an Instagram post on Saturday, the brand announced the 'difficult decision' to close the store to 'prioritize the safety' of customers and staff.
'We have loved being part of Oakland and are grateful for the community that has opened their arms and embraced us. It has been an honor to serve you,' the post said.
'While this chapter comes to a close, Sweet July has exciting new ventures on the horizon that we can't wait to share.'
The store had been previously broken into in October 2022, forcing a temporary closure. A spokesperson told SFGate that 'an individual(s) gained access to the business by shattering the entrance glass' and 'took several items from the location prior to leaving.'

In-And-Out closed their first restaurant ever, in Oakland - it’s THAT BAD.
Curry seems uncomfortable interacting in the realm of politics and current events.
What the hell?
Just how bad can Oakland be?
We have Detroit, Flint, and Benton Harbor over my way.
They set the bar quite high.
IMHO.
Well, the Curry family brought it on themselves.
More money that sense to have opened the shop in that $hit hole in the first place. She be woke and thought her name would would carry the day and protest her asset.
“protect”
Yeah, they say don’t even think about renting a car at Oakland Airport. Automatic break in.

Just call it A Day...Week...Month...Without Immigrants protest.
Closing the store in Oakland is RACIST.
What? Her yugely rich hubby won’t hire extra/better security to guard his loving wife’s store?
Oakland isn’t safe, but Mrs Curry is fully of crap on this one. The woman’s store is closing not due to crime but because it was a stupid idea for a store. You can’t sell a bunch of overpriced housewares in urban Oakland. What? Folks in Oaktown are just beating down the door to buy $98 “soy candles” from Ayesha Curry?

Ayesha Curry has had one failed business after another. A few years back, she had 6 or 7 restaurants going. Now, she’s done to just one in San Francisco.
